More Adventures races/solo (in USA and Internationally)

Can you add more adventures to list of available choices? Right now there's stuff in New York and California but nothing that represents the middle of the country. I'd like to see Grandma's Marathon from Duluth, MN added to the list of available adventures and maybe some other well known places like Mount Rushmore or the Washington Mall in D.C. or Glacier National Park. Just please add more places.

I was hoping to see some thing along the lines of Mt Everest. Maybe to each base camp? I know that would be a huge hike but for the most part the majority of us will not experience real time. 🙂 thank you

As you can see I'm a south African living in New Zealand. These 70 odd trails would be magnificent solo or joint adventures in the fit-bit app, taking above all other fitness trackers and making it a worldwide preferred app

 

I hope that more votes build up as the challenges is the best part of the app

I love the adventures - it's a simple way to get more motivated. Please add more.

I bought my Fitbit for the adventure challenges and persuaded my husband to do the same after the first leg of the Yosemite race. Several people at work are now wanting to jump on board. More challenges will bring more users. A national park series would be awesome. I read somewhere that an Everglades challenge was in the future - is this true?

I don't know what is in the works... I just asked fit bit to consider other opportunities

Please update with more adventure races. It would be nice to have each state represented. Like hiking up diamondhead in Oahu or Snowbird mountain in utah or the Grand Canyon in arizona. Please update to a more user friendly app

That’s a great idea!

Or better yet... include races from around the world.

Same for Australia. Doesn't make much sense for me to look what people in USA can do...

Beckyjr37

Agreed. Please add more solo challenges. 

 

Also, now that you have two trackers capable of swim tracking, please can we have some distance swimming challenges? I use SWIMTAG and there are some great challenges on there - it would be great to have something similar on Fitbit.

Thanks for sharing this idea with everyone!

 

Perhaps you could be interested in Adventures. They are basically a challenge for one person, but it also offers some additional experiences that I'm sure you'll be very excited about!

Yes exactly!  This is what we want more of.  More content, variety, unlocking, and leveling up.

I’d love to see the Boston marathon run, maybe one of the philadelphia/boston/nyc walking tours, the national mall in dc, more state parks ie Mount Rushmore possibly, Gettysburg National park,  more international parks and Mount Fuji. I’d love the challenge of doing any one of those.

I absolutely love these virtual challenges. They are a fantastic way to stay motivated and keep moving. I would love to see some in my home land of Australia!

Hi I live in the West of Scotland and we have fabulous places to base adventures - please could you add UK destinations in a future update?

I agree.  I'd like to walk every national park not just Yosemite for example.

 My friends and I love the adventure races with the cool panoramic photos to go along with them. We would like to see more locales!

I see lots of comments here and a lot of love for the adventure races. What a cool idea and it's wonderful fun to stop in the middle of the day to view something so beautiful in nature when you're stuck inside a ln office building. Please...please continue to add more races! Thx!

To be honest I am not that bothered about the photo’s, I struggle to get them load, but I love the idea of doing different walks. This is a feature that could even do historical walks/treks such as the ones to the North Pole. Walking the Great Wall would also be great, walking to the capital of each state, the top of Scotland to the tip of land end, a walk around Europe, or just make some up.

But please do some more

I feel like I've been getting comment notifications to this thread, or one similar, for a REALLY long time now. So long that it seems FitBit would have made some effort to address the requests of its users. I love the FitBit system, but get it together already and add some new adventures to the program. Don't make your customers continue to waste their time writing these posts. Either do something or just release some sort of statement saying there won't be any new challenges.

I agree with you. But actually, I’ve given up on fitbit. I had trouble with my flex and after 3 replacements it still doesn’t work right and they will not give my money back since it’s been more than 45 days since the original replacement. So I no longer use my Fitbit.

Hello, it seems as though Fitbit as a whole is not quite all it’s made out to be, luckily I got mine secondhand, but I do not like all the “gripes” that people seem to have with Fitbit. Shame really.
Thank you for your time answering me.

The Grand Canyon! I went before but we didn't have time to do any of the trails. Every photo spot would be beautiful and perfect!!
